You may think that I am complaining, but I am really laying the ground work for suggesting that.....
MAYBE we should hire the guys who run Wal-Mart to fix the economy because the idiots in Washington sure can't do it!
Well we are doing just that Old's....buying everything from China, and paying our people peanuts!
Interesting thought Olds!

Good thought and info Raye, but it won't work here (in government).
A corporation is a bit like a dictatorship in that rules and goals are set from the top - and followed - or else.
It doesn't much matter what comes down from the top of our government; good ideas or not so good. Between Congress and the Senate, it's a bit like herding cats. Everyone is off in different directions looking for their own food bowl.
I'll admit I prefer a democracy. Why can't people get on the same page to do what's right for the country instead of themselves?
QuoteCongress and the Senate, it's a bit like herding cats.
Amen to that...
